Salem Police Arrest Two Men Interfering with Salem Pride Event 

SALEM, Ore.-- On June 13, 2026, at approximately 1:30 p.m., officers were notified that a group of about eight individuals were reportedly interfering with a permitted Salem Pride event in downtown Salem. Event organizers, who had authority over access to the permitted area, asked the group to leave after observing disruptions by the group. 

Officers responded and contacted the group, advising them that they were trespassing and needed to exit the permitted event space. After several attempts to obtain voluntary compliance, officers arrested Ryan Clark, 49, and Mason Goodnight, 51, both of Roseburg, for Criminal Trespass. The remaining members of the group with Clark and Goodnight left the area voluntarily.  

Clark and Goodnight were taken into custody and transported to the Salem Police Department, where their arrests were processed.
